Theme : Diwali Sweets
For Diwali usually everyone makes Indian sweets. But I always prefer making at least one tray bake. The main reason for me doing this is that you get a good quantity of sweets for the effort you are putting in. I ended up making cupcakes too this time, I usually don’t make it. It’s been a long time since I made cupcakes and this was the perfect occasion to bake some.
I also made these almond katlis, which are super easy to make in Instant Pot. All the sweets I prepared were either with Instant Pot or baked in the oven. I bought the savory items from a shop recently.
I didn’t realize until now that I hadn’t taken a picture of the brownie itself. Since it’s there as part of the Diwali platter, I am using that picture for this post. This is not the usual brownies I make – this was a new recipe from the Hersheys book I have. It was named Fudge brownie pie. Along with these amazing brownies, there was a hot fudge sauce recipe to serve with ice cream. I didn’t prepare the sauce , need to do that the next time I bake this! This is a one bowl bake and quite easy to prepare.
Read on for the recipe.

Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with a whisk. Add the sugar and melted butter and mix well again. Add the dry ingredients and combine well.
- Pour into a greased pie dish or an 8” square pan which is greased and lined.
- Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes free of crumbs when inserted in the middle of the pan.
- Cut into pieces once cool and serve with ice cream.
I have made this and I can vouch how delicious this is! Love that touch of modernness in that platter with these brownies…
